I've never really had a solid grasp on who the dragon is or what he represents, either (re: the Sunday comic). At least partially nature, I guess, but he's prominently figured somehow itn Japanese folklore, right? But not a god, exactly?

In case anyone was wondering how to pronounce it, 魔法 (enlarged to see the detail) is まほう or "mahou", like mar-hor. Witch/wizard is (although there may be alternate words, kinda like how "warlock" and "sorcerer" are similar) 魔法使い , "mahou-tsukai" and literally means "magic user". People may be familiar with 魔法少女, "mahou-shoujo" from anime, meaning "magical girl". We could call Nanna "mahou-obaa" to mean "magical granny" haha.
Apologies to anyone who already knows all that and didn't need a lesson.
